Bruce, Linda and Elaine
I've just recently learned that both your Mom and Dad have passed away. My thoughts and prayers are being sent to all of you and your family. They were precious friends and neighbors when we lived in Manchester, having moved from there in late 1995. You have been in our thoughts for these many years.
Blessings.

Elaine and family, Praying for all of you as you journey through this sudden loss. May God comfort you and give you strength, moment by moment. Your mother definitely has the better end of this deal, doesn't she?! May God's love be more real to you than ever before as you lean on Him for strength during this difficult time.
